Over half a million auctions at last!!!!

Gorgeous day out, for sure. Watered some little plants in the garden, and told the bunny that dug up one corner of my calendula patch, and ate all around the edge of ones in a big pot, that I still loved him. Not sure that will keep future salad bars from being partaken of, but I try.

Sarge - if you were out in the heat, you need liquid refreshment!! Drink up everyone!

Probably the hottest day of the year so far and my Dear Lady insists we're doing the next phase of our garden revamp and it was the most physical part. Think I must have lost three stone today in sweat! Still the garden's virtually finished, plants are planted and bulbs are - well - planted too. Now just have to wait for it all to grow...

Somehow I have to climb the stairs to bed tonight - could be difficult.... Oh my aching back....

Know how you feel Mandart as I decided to thin out the Granny's Bonnets/Aquilegias yesterday as they've been neglected for last 2-3 years and have seeded EVERYWHERE.

Now need some suggestions of what to fill the gaps with for this summer - apart from bedding plants.

I have loads of daffs and tulips that will also need moving from planters but won't do that until September time.

Apart from that nothing much else to do today apart from putting out the re-cycling boxes for tomorrow's collection.

Have all a good day.

Ello troops. Phew, well managed to get the rescue services out and get the tank started so it's now down at the garage having a new battery fitted and I've had to climb up all the steep hills again in the heat and I'm sweltering.




I will certainly be a lot fitter when this lock down is over !

I haven't heard about my dementia referral. I was meant to have a brain scan but then lockdown happened.

[maplegin]

Well at least can get in today just couldn't get in but at last seems to have been put right,

Sgt just think how fit you will be, glad they have got your tank going hope will be okay once that's working (that's the new battery I mean) Hope when things are back you can get it all legally sorted so he can't cause any more stress

Well have put some plants in the pots at the front which were in the shade & have really watered well. so hope they will be okay.

Hope everyone is coping

[HerMajesty]

Yeah, moonie, the powers that be are so lame in how things have been explained. I'm waiting for the second spike. I hope your referral visit goes well when you get it.
Maple and Annie- a great day for gardening. I spent some time watering. I love calendula for quickly filling in spots with green and then gorgeous blooms. The petals are pretty and spicy on salads or soup, and, if you don't have herds of bunnies, like we do, they are quite hardy.
Sarge - glad you are getting the tank back up to form. Can't have the troops without transport in these trying times.
Everyone take it easy in the sun!

Morning all, kettle is on. What a lovely day! Enjoy while it lasts.

[Anniemcc2]

Morning one and all. Got to use my new teapot this morning as I managed to drop the previous one. I can't use a standard china teapot as I can't grip the handle so I use a coffee filter glass jug which is easier to hold.

Lovely and sunny here and already quite warm.

Have all a good day.
